Topic: S24: Kourtney Moon (Read 1997 times)

Name (Age): Kourtney Moon (29) Tribe Designation: Salani Current Residence: Austin, Texas Occupation: Motorcycle Repair Personal Claim to Fame: Easy - I grew a person inside my body, squeezed him out of a tiny orifice and managed not to completely bomb at parenting (so far). He’s actually the neatest person I know. Unrelated to making human beings, I would have to say honestly, maintaining my sanity through the mental and emotional torture I have endured in just the past few years. Inspiration in Life: LIFE inspiration? I'd have to say there is no More...particular person. There are many individuals who have taught me valuable lessons, whether they meant to or not, and whether they had good intentions or not. People who seek to truly be altruistic are huge inspirations for me. Hobbies: Doing just about anything with my son, motorcycles, knitting, cocktails and night time bike rides. Pet Peeves: I’ve had bad, bad experiences with people who have low moral codes. I just have NO patience for hypocrisy and folks who regularly enjoy the smell of their own farts. Lack of respect for monogamy is a huge pet peeve of mine, as well as people who chew others and spit them out simply because they can... basically, sociopaths and narcissists. 3 Words to Describe You: Creative, scatter-brained and impulsive. SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Jud and Courtney because they reacted or handled situations the way I probably would have. They appeared to be very genuine characters, knew what their attributes were and accepted their short-comings. They also seemed to maintain their sanity when things got rough. Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I NEED the money and want the experience. Traveling, meeting new people, opening new doors, getting the hell out of the Austin bubble for a little while… I severely need a drastic change in my life, preferably one that won't kill me. I think I’m going to walk away from this permanently changed…but for the better.Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I have great diplomatic skills and I’m a good mediator. I often see a person’s positive side over the negative, which makes me very forgiving and accepting. I have no problem leading, following, or getting out of the way when appropriate. Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: Because nothing in this world makes any sense whatsoever and anything really IS possible.

Initial reaction: She sounds nice enough, but I don't think she'll be around long. I see her as being one of the first out of her tribe.

Edited after watching video & press interview: Yeah I still say first boot out of the game. Ever since I play in my fantasy league since season 21, I've been 2/3 on first boots. She seems logical. Too bad because she's adorable.

Survivor One World Kourtney Moon, found out she had cancer this week, days before the episode aired during which she was medically removed from the game after breaking her arm, an injury that she still has not recovered from.

Talking from her hospital room on Rob Cesternino’s podcast, Kourtney said she was doing “shitty, actually” because “I went for a typical wellness check-up on Monday” and “they found a large, grapefruit-sized tumor in my abdomen. The very next day they rushed me to emergency surgery,” she said. “I’m on the safer side” and “I’m super-optimistic; my surgeon doesn’t seem worried at all.”

As to her injury, in the podcast and in interviews, Kourtney repeatedly refers to breaking her arm, not her wrist. (After returning, she tweeted on Sept. 20, “worst case: they’ll have to re-break my arm. SPLENDID. they better knock me out and cut me open this time. 3rd re-setting’s a charm, right?” Earlier, she joked, “since i can’t knit or masturbate properly with a broken left arm, i have taken to my sexy french lessons like mad.”)

On Rob’s podcast, Kourtney said she is in physical therapy and “hopefully, eventually, it will be back to normal.” In other exit interviews, she elaborated on the nature of her injury, telling Gordon Holmes, Kourtney said, “They ended up having to move it back into place and they weren’t so successful the first time. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. It hasn’t been quite the same ever since.” And she told Examiner that “I had it in a cast for a while, but since then we were waiting for some paperwork to go through so I could get onto physical therapy as soon as possible.”
